Don't know what this means. ... I think Blackmon's gone, regardless. And I can't say I know the dynamic of this team, but I think there's a reason we were champs in 16 and chumps in 17. Recall how much better we got without JBJ last season?

couldn't care less what JBJ thinks.

Damn I suck. How do I save it on mobile?

Should just be able to hold down on the picture and the option pops up.

My text convo with a friend who is a Dayton grad and a diehard fan:
Me: "Sorry, brother."
Him: "F..k you."
Him: "I don't know what the f..k we're gonna do now."
Me: "I hear Tom Crean is available."
Him: "F..k you."

Well, now we get to see how playing/coaching in the A-10 translates into the Big Ten.  SUPER amused about all the Donovan chatter, that was just comical.  Archie was probably the best recruiter available and that does count for a lot. Not overly sold on the x's and o's he brings, but, better than what we had.  I think the minimum requirement for an IU Basketball Coach is to make the NCAA tourney every year, I think Archie can accomplish that.  I say Welcome to Coach Miller and now the "silly" offseason starts....be interesting to see what kind of Roster he ends up with for year one.  I hope the Boosters who forced this change give him the leeway he is going to need for a few years.

His math may be off but he sure as hell ain't worth more then Izzo.

And Timofey Mozgov isn't worth more than Steph Curry. Contracts aren't renegotiated every year.

I wouldn't worry much about any of the current rostered players.  Probably the most selfish, lowest Basketball IQ group to ever wear IU uniforms.  Miller will need a few years to work through the roster

His math may be off but he sure as hell ain't worth more then Izzo.

And if Izzo was to leave or get an extension he would surpass those numbers. Just like every year in sports. The money changes year in year out.

Are we still not understanding what search firms do?

I do understand what they do. Multiple things they do.

Fred Glass explicitly said no search firm during his PC. This changed a few days later.

Makes complete sense when option 1 didn't go the way he thought, more "talks" needed done.

I'm convinced Archie wasn't option 1. Glass said "he was on the short list early on". He could have said we got our guy or many other ways of phrasing it.

Archie is under 40 years old and universally regarded as a budding superstar amongst his peers. Honestly ask yourself this question: Who has a higher ceiling in regards to recruiting? Gregg Marshall or Archie Miller.? [/quote

Archie all the way!!

We agree on this one. I never saw that happening, either.

I was hoping, but wasn't convinced like so many on here. I think that's why some are not happy Archie is the coach.

If he leaves now, he will officially be remembered as "Bracey Wright with bad knees."

The way I recall it, Fred said at the PC he may or may not hire a search firm. He did not rule it out.

Who was your top target...one name

1. Stevens
2. Donovan
3. Sean Miller
4. Few
5. Bennett
5. Alford
6. Marshall
7. Probably Archie 7. But I don't think he is necessarily, without a doubt, currently better than Collins, White, Huggins, Martin, and a host of others.

His age and family ties give hope. His results are pretty good. He's on the list. Of the "realistic"-whatever that means- list he is 2-4 for me. I like his youth a lot.

Good thing we kept Tom Crean for so long. If timing was the reason we didn't get Donovan, then Glass blew it two years ago when he chose to keep a proven failure that's not wanted by any high major program now.

 

I'm intrigued by Miller, but not overly excited. I want to be big-time. It pisses me off how the national media repeatedly scoffed at us for even thinking we could get an NBA coach. Miller may make us elite, but it's far less of a sure thing.

Timing was the reason we didn't get Stevens, too.  

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Does anyone remember how Marquette fans were after losing Crean? I went on a Dayton message board and they are completely devastated this happened. I don't remember that happening with Crean.

Apparently they were excited to see him go

I said one name...but your list explains your disappointment.
